I remember that movie. It was kinda weird and I think there was a lot of slow-mo.

Here's hoping Hasbro won't botch distribution.

I'm not a fan of the new brushables because of the bowlegs and big heads, but here it works.

Just like with Songbird, the vinyl clothes add a bit of meat and conceal the thin, bent upper legs. She looks kinda cool. Unlike the new Luna and Cadence.

The article suggests it might be either store exclusive or SDCC or Hascon exclusive.  I could see that.  She has a unique sculpt that couldn't be reused for other characters.  If she turns out to $50 retail, I will just have to hope for deeply discounted 2nd hand.

I love this edgelord pony.  She's like every single "original character DO NOT STEAL!!!" pony from every fanfic ever.  I'm 100% getting the brushable.

If she's in the $50 price range, check the thrift stores a couple months after Christmas.  I've seen tons of every pony from that price range at that time from G3 onward, lol.

Her hind legs look super thin for my taste.  But you know what, I really like her muzzle.  Cause she actually *has* a muzzle.   Really, I like her head sculpt much better than the other reboots.

That movie was awesome,...evil red demon Tim Curry, who is the bad guy that is totally scary but somehow weirdly sexy and at some point it makes you question if you really want to save the unicorns.

Tom Cruise, running around dramatically trying to save the unicorns that made me think meh...I think the Princess could do better.

hum, it came out in 1985...next year was Labyrinth...

The 80's were awesome for these off beat movies. They don't seem to make cool movies like these anymore or at least I can't think of any...sad.

I'll definitely be getting her. I love the concept of brushing the hair of some really edgy pony. :lol:

If she's an exclusive of some kind, she better just be exclusive to a store (TRU, Target, etc) and not an event exclusive, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get her. A basic brushable like this seems like it shouldn't be the type of thing to be an event exclusive.

That's one of the good things about her. Well I like her colors too.

You know, I thought she was cast with the armour too, but someone mentioned the flexible vinyl clothing and I'm starting to think there might be hope of displaying her without it.

Ever since I first saw this character, I've been supremely curious what her actual symbol is.  Clearly it's not what is on her armour because the other villains all have the same symbol on their clothing and it resembles the staff the Storm King carries.    Surely, they will reveal her actual symbol during the movie?  I'd just die of happiness if it turns out to be something like bunnies, or butterflies, or a cupcake!  Or pie because of that line in the trailer. Lol!

me too! i love her, im really interested in her character. im predicting now that she will be good by the end of the movie and the yeti guy is the real big bad :' )
it would be nice if her clothes were removable. upon closer inspection, this makes it look like it really is removable. if it is, im switching over and shes a buy for me!

I think the only thing that bothers me really about this version of her is the shape of her muzzle. Something about it just didn't translate right where as I have no problem with the FiM Collection of her and I think there is a GoH version of her that I don't mind.

Maybe it's her eyes that just make the muzzle weird to me... I'd have to get a figure comparison of the different line versions of her.

Do her colors remind anyone else of G1 Sherbert?  Now I'm amused by the idea of her symbol being a yummy ice cream.

I really hate she'll only be at Target. 9.9 Between the security breach and other things, I will not shop there.

Are we certain she'll only be at Target?  I've only heard theorizing so far.
Title: Re: New Tempest brushable!
Post by: Carrehz on July 14, 2017, 07:49:04 AM
Oooh, now this one's kinda cool. I'm still not a fan of the reboot in general but like Zapper said, the clothes help to hide the skinny noodle legs.. and her head isn't quite as balloon-y like the others are.. I like her broken horn, too. She's so over-the-top edgy but I do like the horn XD

I dunno if I'll definitely get her (need to see her in person.. fingers crossed that she gets released over here! Or that someone has her at PonyCon XD) but I admit I'm tempted :) Her and Big Mac are the only reboot G4s that have really caught my eye so far.

(I like her name, too.. I've always liked the word 'tempest'.)

https://youtu.be/dNKaSXoibpI (https://youtu.be/dNKaSXoibpI)

Now I want to see a face off between her and the G1 Sweet Talking Ponies.

"Comb my hair, my minion"
"I love you!"
"Your love makes me stronger."
"I'm pretty!"

...Has to happen.

...I don't like the Tempest brushable. No, I lie. I like everything about the Tempest brushable from her colour to her broken horn to her expression...but that mane is not 'brushable', it's a mohican. And it probably fits the character beautifully. It's probably absolutely perfect for the effect people want her to have, as an edgy bad guy. But I am not interested in the character/animated version because I don't like FIM and won't be watching the movie. So it's all about the toy for me. And I really don't like that hair on brushable anything. It began with Baby Lucky and I haven't warmed up to it over the years. So I think she's awesome in every other way. But not the hair. Not for me.

I am probably guessing this is an unpopular opinion that needs to go in the other thread (xD).

I'd pay money to see this XD

I agree, Taffeta, I'm not really into her mohawk either. It suits her, I just like proper full manes a lot better.. at least it looks better than the stupid mohawk they gave Big McIntosh (at least IMO).

I wonder if that's an actual plot point or if it's just Hasbro being lazy? The mini figure of the bat pony knight (Nightmare Knight? hehe) didn't have a symbol, either (and idk why he wouldn't have one?), so there is a precedent for them being lazy with stuff like this :s

I will not be getting her though... Im more a fan of the classical My Little Ponys and to be honest, shes a little to "off" or "too far away" from that for me. Well, got to admit, I didnt see any episode where she was in, so maybe when I see her I might change my mind as I did with Nightmare Moon and Crysalis too  :P

Her brushable doesn't have a symbol, you say? Hmm... makes me all the more curious as to what it actually could be (if they reveal it during the movie at all, of course). :what:

Part of me wants it to match the dark and edgy look she has going on while the other part of me wants it to be something like flowers or kittens or something equally as silly.  :P

Either way, I love Tempest. She brings me back to my embarrassing teen years. When she becomes more readily available I'd love to have one to customize/"restore" her to how she might have looked before all this Storm King nonsense.
